No offense taken

Both.

Well, if that reservoir was in the way I sure as heck could figure out a different mount to get it out of the way but I think the brace would bolt down on top of that bracket without any problem.

I'll be the first (maybe only?) to say........ who cares about a STB? Put the blower on it and run it in the quarter, call it NTR.

No Turns Required....... lol.

I really hope more 5.0 owners will catch the turbo bug. There is a reason many Terminator owners change to turbo/twin turbo options when looking for more power..

Having a factory forged motor to take advantage of the greater power potential of turbos helps make that an easy decision. I like both superchargers and turbos, but for me, a supercharger will suffice my power needs for a long time, especially on the stock block.

Looks to me like there's already a notch cut out of the top of the 2011 unit for...maybe a STB of some sort?

As tom281 said, Different strokes/different folks! I know many people cream at the sound of a supercharger whine. Myself, there is nothing more fulfilling than the rush of air from a nice, big, spooling turbo!

Either way, boostgasm's rock.
